That Ghana kit is unreal.

+ Uruguay.

Puma's Arsenal kits for next season are pretty good too.

If only we could have a prime Titi as opposed to the guy next to him

Assuming there'll be authentic and replica releases, if not it is going to be emotional for the guys with beer bellies trying to squeeze into that.

I think you can get hold of them if you want, but the general ones won't be tight fitting. I would love a proper one, serious motivation to slim down.

733 goals in 745 professional matches speaks for itself. Golden Boot winner in the 1966 World Cup.

R.I.P. Eusebio, an all time great.

Theo Walcott has ruptured his ACL and is out for the season and will miss the World Cup, out for at least six months. Big loss for England imo gutted for him.

7NEWS - FIFA prez: Brazil far behind in World Cup preparations - U.S. & World Story

Quote:

GENEVA - FIFA President Sepp Blatter says Brazil is further behind in preparations for the World Cup than any other country has been during his time with the organization.

Brazil has completed only six of the 12 World Cup stadiums despite a deadline by FIFA to finish by the end of 2013.
In an interview with Swiss newspaper 24 Heures, Blatter says "it's the country which is the furthest behind since I've been at FIFA and moreover, it's the only one that had so much time — seven years — to prepare itself."

Blatter also says he thinks there will be more of the protests, similar to those for the Confederations Cup. But he adds he believes "the Brazilians won't attack the football directly. Because for them, it's a religion."

Better get a move on lads, 155 days to go.

Qatar 2022 will be played in winter, confirmed. I am raging at this whole farce, their bid should be void, it was based on the summer and actually had the dates included.

With all the stuff in Brazil and Qatar (and don't forget the racists and hooligans in Russia in 2018) it is laughable that England, the best football nation in the world cannot get a World Cup. **** this. Hope the clubs and confederations refuse to release players for this.
